In Progress… Check back periodically for updates!

 

Can’t wait? Contact me to get an update on where this renovation is at and I’ll tell you how you can do it too!

 

Follow along with a Tacoma local & real estate investor as he breathes new life into someone’s future dream home in the McKinley area of East Tacoma. Originally constructed in 1905; this 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom has seen its share of updates over the last 100+ years. Peel through the layers of paint and wallpaper to find rooms completely encased in shiplap and the various styles of vinyl flooring (also layered) tell a story of the home’s history.

 

Day 1. Tons of potential here! One bedroom and a full bathroom downstairs and two bedrooms upstairs. Current outlook is the addition of a bathroom upstairs utilizing an unfinished area of the home.

 

 

Tons of shiplap! This house was built to withstand a serious storm.

 

 

Here’s the wall between the living room and kitchen opened up. It will eventually be removed completely.

 

 

Quite a bit of trash left behind by the previous tenant.

 

 

Huge backyard! Can’t wait to see how this turns out.

 

 

Backyard cleanup has begun!

 

Change of plans… we’re adding two 3/4 bathrooms! Both of the upstairs bedrooms will have its own bathroom.

 

 

Here’s both upstairs bathrooms. Framed and insulated. Also in the bathroom a sneak peek at fixture plans 😉. Can’t wait too see how the wall mounted toilets and floating vanities turn out.

 

 

Drywall has been hung and mudding and taping have begun. Soon to come… texturing and interior paint!

 

 

Enough of the upstairs updates – lets head back to the kitchen where the wall between the living room and kitchen has been removed. Wires dangling from the ceiling will eventually power recessed led light fixtures.

 

 

New drywall hung throughout the downstairs areas and more preparation for texturing and painting.

 

 

Video Update!

 

Some updates have been made to the front of the home. There’s a new front patio cover styled to match the roofline of the home and all repairs to the vinyl siding are complete.

 

 

Wall texturing is complete! Next step is interior paint and once that’s complete, flooring.
